This book is a manual on how to stay alive, individually and collectively, in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. It is the first book that defines disaster as a coherent phenomenon and provides guidance for policymakers. It is a comprehensive guide to the causes of natural and man-made disasters that also contains both a vigorous critique of current disaster prevention and relief capabilities, as well as practical recommendations for future efforts.
